Speaking as a natural born redhead, I’m mildly offended by the OP. If you can’t look past some random genetic mutation and appreciate my intellect and my magnificent ass, you’re ignoring the real me! ---

I love redheads, too. When I was in college, there was a boy who had long, deep carrot-red hair with highlights of gold, and he kept it clean and brushed (this was the 1970s). He’d play frisbee on the college lawn, shirtless, with his hair tossing and catching the sun as he ran about. I never met him or knew his name, but whenever I think of redheads, I think of that boy. ---

Red hair is a sure sign of insanity! But yes. ---

If you can’t look past some random genetic mutation and appreciate my intellect and my magnificent ass, you’re ignoring the real me! Such a redhead. Anyway… There are redheads, and there are Italian redheads. Sort of like turning redhead up to 11. :eek: ---

I like redheaded women but wouldn’t call myself gaga over them. I’ve never dated one, although I’ve been attracted to some, as it happens. My wife is brunette but had some red highlights which showed up very nicely out in the sun when we were both younger (she’s mostly gray now). Two of our three sons are redheads. > [@CairoCarol](#): > > …Luckily, his perfect wife is a redhead! Lucky indeed. How many imperfect wives does he have? ---

This explains the redhead and fantastic ass shaped switch in my brain that will completely shut off all cognition. I call the the Kidman Switch. ---

Women aren’t flavors of ice cream and they get Pretty Damned Pissed when you pretend they are. You will meet women in your life time & some you will have a _cough_ reaction _cough_ to. All that means is that you think she’s amazing.
